...In order to keep everyone safe indoors and outdoors, I look for hazards in the area where the children will be playing, learning, and exploring. Before entering students should know the proper rules and procedures ahead of time in case of an emergency. Which means procedures and rules should be practiced at least once a week for a month or until there is no need for assistance. Staff should be fully trained and well equipped given an emergency during any time. Even if no assistance is needed supervision is always required, as well as supplies, materials, and equipment at hand or is known to be in a close range. To keep everyone healthy indoors and outdoors, I make sure sanitary procedures are stated and present. When entering or exiting an area students, staff, and classroom equipment should be well sanitized daily. For example hand washing before and after eating along with when children are playing indoors and outdoors. Staff should sanitize before and after dealing with each child to prevent the transferring of germs. Rest and nutrition are also a very important role in a child’s everyday life. Students should be immediately tended to when dealing with allergy emergencies no matter how severe. Naps are required in a child care center, children should have a chance to rest during the day specifically children ages new born to five. To ensure I create an active learning environment indoors and outdoors, I keep activities active and very communicative. I like for the kids...

Usually Hazcards are used by the technician’s room in the schools. Before students start an activity in the laboratory they should always complete a Risk Assessment. A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in their work, could cause harm to people, so that they can weigh up whether they have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill. A risk assessment should tell us what the hazards are, what the risks are, how to minimise the risks and what to do in an emergency. Health and Safety Executive This law was introduced in 1974 The law on health and safety at work in Great Britain is regulated by the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities. As controllers, our role is to determine that businesses are effectively and proportionately managing their health and safety risks to workers and others. To do this, we use a range of interventions to influence, encourage and advise business and, where necessary, hold to account those who fail to meet their...

...Problem Statement Greg James, a global manager at Sun Microsystems, has found himself in a difficult situation after his teams failed to respond to a customer’s outage. James’s main problems are that his teams have a support system that fails to address emergency situations and that James has poor, inefficient communication with his teams that leads to unhappiness in the workplace. Analysis Sun Microsystems uses a support systems that queues problems for resolution. The situation for HS Holdings went into a queue that is designed to keep track of missing contract numbers. Since there is no queue system for emergencies, it took several hours for anyone of importance to notice the issue. Jamal, the programmer that created the queue system, stated his assignment was to create a queue for accounts with missing contract numbers. Never was Jamal communicated to create a program that dealt with emergencies such as when a client’s servers go down. The problem here is that Sun Microsystems does not have an emergency situation protocol. With a fail proof support system, one that is designed to deal with emergencies, James would not be traveling across the globe to meet with each of him teams. Sun Microsystems also fails from poor and inefficient communications from James to his teams which has caused unhappiness. If this problem is left uncheck, employee morale will decrease and Sun Microsystems could start to see themselves with a high employee turnover. One of the biggest reasons...

...interesting to know that the dress code instills some form of confidence to fire victims. When these victims see a firefighter in full fire combat, they feel at ease and adhere strictly to the orders they are given. A firefighter should, therefore, ensure that they are in their uniform when responding to such scenarios. Further, delays and bulky procedures tend to increase panic among the victims. There should be an easy procedure that will allow the evacuation of victims as fast as possible especially to the crowded places. Movements should be controlled to ease the overcrowding and possibly reduce the number of casualties. Firefighters should also provide emergency lighting facilities as in most instances fire emergencies cause blackouts, and if victims were left out in the darkness, they are likely to panic even more. Providing emergency lights allows victims to trace their easiest way out of the building. The exits should be well labelled to avoid directing the evacuees to risk areas that would subject them to more danger. References Freedman, M. (2015). Fighting Fire in the Sierra National Forest.

...Before joining the Fire Department, I didn’t have a clue as to what it entailed. I knew that committing to the department wasn’t going to be casual; still I was surprised as to how much it demanded from me. In order to learn how to act during emergency situations, there were monthly company drills (training exercises) that we were required to attend. Sometimes the training was very intense, although they were highly controlled, it was always dangerous. A common exercise was entering a multi-storied building with fires at various locations, which we had to find and put out. The drill was highly teamwork oriented and required concise communication in making our way around. Other drills ranged from practicing force-entry into buildings to getting into full turnout gear with an SCBA ready to use. We had even purchased a junkyard car to set on fire in order to practice putting out car fires. Many of the fire related calls were minor or false alarms. Although there were some actual fire crises, many of the emergencies were medical. Some people are surprised to find out that the local fire department runs many of the ambulances. Some calls I responded to were: overdoses, heart attacks, and the elderly falling in their home. Usually an EMT on scene would check the patient and decide whether or not they needed hospitalization. If they did need medical attention, we would get them on the stretcher and bring them to the local hospital. I’d say being a volunteer at the CPFD had...

Control is very important and also considered a key factor. You must Control the spreading of the infected or contaminated from the ambulance up to hospital staff. “Even though written procedures might be into place, actual demonstrations of these procedures during an exercise will point out if further training is needed or if procedures should be revised.”(ntl.bts.gov, 254) Next, you will need to find out if the medical facilities know how to retrieve and use necessary medical and other data for diagnosing and treating victims exposed to hazardous materials. “Many of the local hospitals will not be able to treat exposed victims without consultation with medical experts from other parts of the State or country.”(BTS.org, Medical Services) After you have found out if any of the medical facilities know how to retrieve necessary data you will need to Test procedures for providing hospitals with information on the number of victims, types of injuries and contamination involved, and estimated time of arrivals (ETAs) of emergency vehicles to allow adequate...

...Izmir, Turkey – The Pearl of the Aegean Janet P. Santos Walden University August 16, 2014 Izmir became the third largest city in the country of Turkey, which is comparable in area to the state of Massachusetts and is approximately size as the state of Texas. During both, the Roman and Byzantine - Ottoman Periods in which Izmir was averted from adversary possession on September 9, 1922 during the War of Independence (Index Mundi. com, 2013). Turkey is located in the northeastern quadrant of the Mediterranean Sea and also in the Southeast portion of Europe in addition to the Southwest segment of Asia. It also touches to the North near the Black Sea, in addition to the West near the Aegean Sea. Turkey also neighbors countries such as Greece and Bulgaria, which borders to her west. Along the North and Northwest, and through the Black Sea she has the following countries bordering: Russia, Ukraine, and Romania. To the East she has the following countries bordering: Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. Finally to the South she has Syria and Iraq bordering her. Lastly, the following bodies of water divide her and they include: the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosporus (Index Mundi. com, 2013). Izmir, just like the entire country of Turkey, has many disadvantages primarily due to their geological weakness known as the Aegean plate boundaries (Komuscu, 1995). Turkey sits literally amid two massive tectonic plates. The Eurasia and The Africa/Arabia, which are...

...STUDENT REPONSE FOR WEEK The two words emergency and disaster do send shivers down my spine, when thinking about them. After reading your post I was able to break down the word emergency even more. So I am sure we can agree emergency could be anything that is posing a risk to someone’s life. These specific emergencies require a response team to take immediate action, whereas for example an emergency pertaining to the environment would not. There are specific authorities that may not respond to the danger of a persons or animals life. Fires and tornados are not considered an emergency. There is something called a state of emergency which is when the government declares an emergency in a specific state. An example of this, back in 2011 there was heavy rains in the state of New York. Due to water rises long the river there was mass flooding. The water was coming well over the flood walls. This was a danger, so a state of emergency was called. People were being evacuated, and sent to shelters that were being run by FEMA. There is management of emergencies agencies and is divided into 4 possible categories: state of preparedness, quick response, recovery, and mitigation. When comparing emergency and disaster I have brainstormed additional defenses, one can prepare for an emergency when disaster one cannot. Emergencies can be on a scale from small to large whereas disasters are always large. If there is an emergency like a small fire that can be handled by the local fire department...

...workers seemed to have a big influence over the emergency outcome from what I observed. The EMS workers were pretty much controlling all the emergency scenes, which is why the outcomes at the end are what they turn out to be. For example, there was a section in the station where all the calls and dispatch information was received called the Watch Office. Here, one of the volunteers also gave me the opportunity to see an example of a dispatch print out. When I first saw it, I was confused about what the information on it meant exactly. The volunteer then kindly explained what each and every piece of information on the page meant. Observing the Watch Office made me realize that technology has made everything so much easier for emergencies. As calls are received in the offices, the numbers and locations are tracked down. One of the volunteers told me that they don’t need to do much interrogation now, as everything is automatically tracked down and brought into their system, which then allows the dispatch to print everything out. Another thing I observed was that all of the people working at the station were very coordinated and cooperative. They were very organized and all the calls that they were receiving were transferred down to the appropriate units that needed to help them out. This showed that they were all well trained and ready to do their job as soon as an incident occurred, meaning there wouldn’t be any delays at all if an emergency situation was to take place. After taking...
